This class accomodates those who are completely new to ashtanga yoga as well as those with some experience. The first part of the primary series will be taught in depth and the focus will be on technique and refining the postures. From time to time the class will also take a more detailed look at breath control (ujjayi breath), and internal core strength (bandhas).
You can join this class at any time and need to sign up for a minimum of 4 classes, which you can use at any of the beginners classes. We recommend you attend a minimum of 8–12 beginners classes before moving on to the intermediate stage or self practice. Check with the teacher when you feel ready to move on.
